You can apply for PAN card correction online through the official portals of Protean (formerly NSDL e-Gov) or UTIITSL by using the 'Change/Correction in PAN Data' application.
- Visit the chosen portal and select the 'Changes or Correction in existing PAN Data' option.
- Fill the PAN Change Request Form, marking the fields requiring correction (like name, DOB, or address).
- Submit the application digitally (via Aadhaar e-KYC/e-Sign) or by physically forwarding documents.
- Pay the applicable fee (e.g., ₹107 for physical card dispatched in India).
An acknowledgement number is provided for tracking, and the updated PAN card is typically delivered within 15 to 20 working days.
